Project Overview:
A £3 million loan to assist in the redevelopment of a new data centre known as Shield House Gloucester has been approved from the Gloucestershire Infrastructure and Investment Fund (GIIF).
The project is for the refurbishment and extension of disused premises in Barnwood, Gloucester. As a three phase project, the proposals will commence by turning the site into a co-location data centre, housed in a state of the art building run by Indectron. The strategic data centre will bring new high end technology employment to Gloucestershire, creating numerous new jobs, the data hub will service the needs of hundreds of businesses, both local and regional. As part of the plans for the site existing outbuildings and offices will be removed with new two-storey offices and large data centre block being created.
